this is me at a cocktail partyHi All,
Yes, the posts are slipping. You can yell at me, it's fine. I deserve it.
One, I'm been busy, but two, I've become a little disheartened. I'll put it all out there, for discussion.
You give me advice.
The "Demi-Monde" had a FABULOUS soiree this past weekend. A wonderful cocktail party, dozens of attractive gay men from who-the-fuck knows where. The cocktail party was by far the gayest and most fabulous event I've been to in Hudson. I cannot give enough credit to my host who opened up his wonderful house....it was amazing!! Thank you.
I have no idea where my friend found these guys. There was no interior design work done anywhere within a 50 mile radius of Hudson on last Saturday night.
So, here I am, a single gay male at a wonderful gay cocktail party. Granted, I was very late, but I met a lot of guys. This is me meeting guys:
"My partner Jim, standing right there, and I....."
NEXT!
"So, the two of us bought a house together three years ago..."
NEXT!
"The fois gras apppetizer at DA-BA is simply fabulous, you MUST try it..."
NEXT!
Fact is, it's a shallow pond for the single gay guy.....
I bought my house so that my dog could have a backyard --- and that I could have another tax deduction. Give me my laptop, a coffee maker, high speed internet access, my dog, and my yoga mat, and I'm happy.
Then I started going out. And the friends that I've met in Hudson are all WONDERFUL! It's like being in college again. Finally, people my own age with similar interests! I cannot complain about that.
But, the dating pool is very small.
If I meet a cute guy, I'll turn to a friend and say, 'what's his story?'
If he's not already in a couple, and he's single, there's usually a 'BUT'...
BUT - he shot his mother and keeps the remains in a Loehman's box under the bed.
BUT - he only dates guys from Zimbabwe.
BUT - he's still high from the Black Party two months ago.
Or, something like that....
(Granted, I'm not exactly "peaches and cream" myself. I am not for the faint of heart.)
But if you look at the gay guys in the area, take out the guys who are in couples, and the drunks, then who's left?
....and usually the drunks are the most fun!
And I'm not expecting the love of my life....but dinner and a movie would be nice...
.....sigh.....
What's a single Hudson faigeleh to do?
Help.

Babydoll- you need to look further than Hudson.... Claverack, Leeds, Catskill, Athens! There has to be a respectable (at least outside of the house) man who is worthy of you. Remember you are FABULOUS, making Hudson and all around you eqully as FABULOUS...
xoxoxo
:-P
:-P is absolutely right...
I mean, why would you do anyone in Hudson at all??? You're just going to run into them at the Red Dot every Saturday night FOR THE REST OF YOUR FUCKING LIFE.
You have to cast a wider net. Think Stockport, Woodstock, Germantown. These guys are a little more desperate for attention, and Hudson seems pretty exciting and with-it to them -- you'll seem cool and hip even in one-year old jeans.
And you won't get the giant patented Red Dot "Oh it's him again" eyeroll...
Rich, you asked for advice? Wiggle into a blue gingham tube top, buckle up your red patent stiletto's, throw your little dog in a basket and Ease On Down The Road (or the dandelion choked asphalt of State Street anyway) and head toward the Bliss! ASK MOMMA !!!
Oh yes, you're absolutely right!!
The answers are right here in my own backyard....
Stay tuned....
Dear "babydoll" Rich,
I completly commiserate with you on the state of the local singles "scene".
A shallow pond is no fun
when you like to "Go Deep"

MANY THANKS and BRAVO to our Sat. evening host, who came up with more gay guys (attractive and intelligent too!) than STRAY ever has. Indeed, it WAS a delightful evening.
That said, with all the happy Hudson couples, as a single gal there wasn't a chance in HELL of getting laid (understood that this was a cocktail party,and not the CockPit!)
Immediatly upon arrival I was blinded by the flash ( at first assuming it was a flurry of paparazzi, I quickly wet my lips and tossed off a candid 3/4 over-the-shoulder pose)from a sparkling SEA of thick-singles deflecting-gold wedding bands; throwing off the otherwise thoughtfully considered flattering lighting. With the loot, providing I had the opportunity to collect them and melt the metal down, I'd have enough to buy a villa in Brazil and a staff of uncut "poolboys".
Having abandon any fleeting thought of getting laid, (well...never say never, there might be something culled from the evening down-the-road; even it it might yet again mean becoming a homewrecker!) it WAS fun to count the eyelifts and plethora of elective surgerys while mentally calculating all that much fabled gay disposable income/credit card debt-as the case may be! A plastic surgeon might do well in this town. Then again, as with the other B.O.O.B.'s, he'd only be open "by chance"!
Never give up Rich, and I promise that I won't.
LOL
Single And Unafraid Of The Odds
SINGLE IN HUDSON ?!
you're DOOMED !!
At the moment it seems to be B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Boyfriend)
No offense to :-P or anyone at all, but on the flip side of the coin, one shouldn't have to go even further into the backwoods (Deliverance) for sex. What's next - possum vittles washed down with hootch, "cornholing", sex with your cousin (well, hmmm),.... DENIM BIB OVERALLS ?!!!
Remember: "You're HERE - You're QUEER" !!!
As far as eyerollers at RedDot, or anywhere else, so what! LET them roll their eyes till they LOCK in that position!
You shouldn't sleep with someone because you'll run into them again? That logic escapes me. Everyone's seen, been seen, and slept with everyone in NYC too (include in that SF, Chicago, Ft. Lauderdale) ... it's never stopped me from double dipping or going back to the well for more. Life is to short!
Would Barbara Stanwyck let an eyeroll stop HER ?!!
